Echigo-Yuzawa Onsen Otowaya Ryokan is a pure Japanese-style ryokan
where you can feel the beautiful changes of the four seasons.
Please come and enjoy natural hot spring water flowing directly
from the source and kaiseki cuisine that makes full use of fresh seasonal ingredients.
We'll welcome you with the kind of warm hospitality that only a small inn with a total of 16 rooms can provide.
Just 90 minutes from Tokyo.
Echigo-Yuzawa Onsen hot springs boast
beautiful nature and scenery.
Surrounded by the Japanese Alps, Echigo-Yuzawa is a place where you can enjoy the changing faces of nature that the four seasons bring. In spring and summer, you can hike around the surrounding mountains and lakes, and in fall, you can see beautiful autumn leaves. There are several ski resorts around Echigo-Yuzawa where you can enjoy winter activities on wide slopes covered with good-quality snow.
Natural hot spring water flowing directly from the source
Even just a little dip is enough to warm you to the core, and you won't feel chilly after you get out.
We also have two private baths and private bedrock baths for you to enjoy.
Please take a time-out to rest while feeling the seasonal breeze.
A rock in the open-air bath has a dragon pattern on it that's said to bring good luck to those who find it, so we hope you do!
(To maintain a constant temperature, a circulation system is used in conjunction with the natural flow.)

Savor Niigata' seafood to your heart's content. The desserts and pickles made by the proprietress herself are also extremely popular.

Relaxing rooms
We have seven types of calm Japanese-style rooms, so you can relax while feeling the scenery of the four seasons and the warmth of wood.
A pure Japanese-style room whose emphasis is on the refreshing nature of tatami mats and the warmth of shoji.
Please enjoy a nostalgic and calm time in various situations during your stay.
History of Otowaya Ryokan
Our ryokan began when its first-generation owner, a lover of rural kabuki theater who'd made many trips all around the country to enjoy it, decided to open an inn here in 1947.
A traditional Japanese artform, kabuki has long entertained people with plays, dances, music, and more.
Cherishing the spirit of it that's been handed down from our first-generation founder, we'll go on aiming ever higher to make sure we remain an inn that's loved by all.
The inside of our ryokan is decorated with kabuki and ukiyo-e motifs with octopuses and other designs.
We're about a 7-minute walk or 2-minute drive from the nearest station, which is Echigo-Yuzawa Station.
We also run a shuttle service.
Please call us (+81-25-784-3412) once you arrive at Echigo-Yuzawa Station.
The shuttle service is available until 6:00 p.m.
Note: Please be aware that we may not be able to accommodate your request even if it's within the service hours.
